Hey Greg, I have been using blosxom since one of the early "imaginary number" version releases (0.x+i). I strongly recommend it, it is essentially a clever perl script, very minimalistic, it builds on *NIX assumprions (as it should!), so that you simply create a text file in a certain directory, the first line becomes the title, the rest the body. You can do this via ssh (my favorite option), but many plugins exist to do it from any facility you might think of (and it is easy to write your own).
The date of the entry is taken from the system's file last modification. I have a little hack to pre-render things via lynx, but Rael incorporated a more flexible scheme doing the same thing into newer releases, so that you can have the script render once rather than per-each HTTP call, and serve the cached result. This is nice if you are expecting lots of traffic, of course, or if you run your webserver on a mac SE-30 as I do for a challenge =). Three thumbs up is my overall comment. I would tell you to go peek at my site, but I moved and it is still down. -Federico > -----Original Message----- > From: Greg London [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, December 7, 2004 06:34 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [Boston.pm] OT: blosxom > > > my website is on Pair. > I want to put a blog up on my site. > Pair has blosxom on the list of tools they have. > > According to blosxom homepage, it's pure perl, > so its sort of a on-topic question. > > Anyone know anything about blogging as far as > which blogging software is good? > Is it all a wash?
